A THIEFos REWARD.
Shot While Stealing Cabbages on
Vale Royal Plantation.

Vale Royal Plantation.
Charles Rain (colored), 90 years old,
was shot and dangerously wounded yes
terday morning by c. C. Beebe, superin-
tendent of the Vale Royal plantation, one
mile west OF the city. Mr.. Beebe had
been missing cabbages from his patch for
two weeks. He and his foreman watched
for several nights, and on the morning of
March 10 detected some one in the patch.
The trespasser was ordered to halt, but
did not and started to run. Mr., Beebe
fired a load OF birdsnot at the thief and
stung him a little. The foreman flred a
load of buckshot and missed. That was
before daylight on Friday. Mr.. Beebe
supposed that he had scared the thief off
and that he would not come back again
soon.
FRIDAY night, however, the thief went
back and stole more cabbages than on all
his previous trips. That exaggerated the
owner and he kept watch for several
nights thereafter. Friday night he watch
ed as usual,snd yesterday morning about
o'clock be saw q man moving about in
the patch quite close. This time Mr..
Beebe's gun was loaded with buckshot
and his foreman's with small shot. Mr..
Beebe called to the thief to stop. The
Oan broke into run and was getting
away very lively when Beebe raised his
gun and fired at close rarge. The thief,
who had been STOPPING DOWN as he ran,
dropped to the ground at the fash OF the
gun. Mr.. Beebe hurried to him ana
found that il was RAIN. The wounded
man exclaimed: "My Godl l had warn
ing by being shot before! Now see what
stealing has brought me to-"
RAINS left thigh was broken. and his
left wrist and left hand were shattered,
and two grains of shot struck him IN the
left breast. He was carried to the farm
house, placed in a wagon, brought into
the ely and taken TO the Georgia Intir-
mary. His wounds are dangerous.
Mr.. Beebe was released. He SAYS that
he did not want to kill the thief, but tried
TO shoot him in the legs to make him stop.
HN neighborhood, be SAYS, has been
proved upon all winter by thieves. A
few weeks ago two we're caught and were
given their choice between going to jail
and taking a whipping. They chose the
whipping, and were given fifty lashes
apiece.
RAIN has been out OF the penitentIary
only three weeks, where he served a three
years. term for roobing Mr.. Beebe's
house. At that time Mr.. Beebe was liv-
ing on West Broad street. near the
Central railroad depot. RAIN got into
the house and stole silver watch, some
clothing and $40. About the first thing
be did after getting back was to try to get
revenge by stealing his prosecutors cab
